Managed Saleor
Fully managed headless ecommerce powered by Saleor
Why headless commerce?#
Traditional monolithic platforms (Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento) bundle the storefront, cart, checkout, and backend into one system. That's convenient until you need to:
- Run the same catalog across a web shop, mobile app, and a B2B portal simultaneously
- Integrate with an existing ERP or custom pricing engine
- Move fast on the frontend without waiting for backend release cycles
- Serve markets with very different UX requirements from one backend
Headless commerce separates your commerce logic (catalog, inventory, orders, payments) from the presentation layer. Your storefront is just a client — it queries the API and renders whatever experience you need.
What is Saleor?#
Saleor is an open-source, GraphQL-first headless commerce platform with 21,000+ GitHub stars and production deployments at enterprise scale. Key characteristics:
- GraphQL-native — every capability exposed through a single, well-documented GraphQL API; no REST shims
- Composable — plug in your own payment gateway, fulfillment provider, search engine, or CMS
- Multi-channel — separate pricing, availability, and currencies per sales channel from a single backend
- B2B-ready — draft orders, custom pricing, company accounts, and approval flows built in
- Python/Django core — mature, well-understood stack with a large ecosystem of integrations
Unlike hosted SaaS platforms, Saleor gives you full ownership of your data and the ability to self-host in any region.
What we manage#

| Layer | What we do |
|---|---|
| Infrastructure | Provision and maintain VMs or Kubernetes clusters, load balancers, CDN configuration |
| Application | Deploy Saleor API, Saleor Dashboard, and worker processes (Celery) |
| Database | Managed PostgreSQL with connection pooling (PgBouncer), point-in-time recovery |
| Cache | Managed Redis for session state, task queue, and GraphQL query caching |
| Upgrades | Zero-downtime rolling upgrades on Saleor minor and patch releases |
| Backups | Daily encrypted backups with configurable retention; restore drills quarterly |
| Monitoring | Prometheus metrics, alert routing, on-call for P1 incidents |
| Security | TLS termination, WAF rules, CVE patching, access control reviews |
Pricing tiers#
| Tier | Price | Order Volume | Support |

Use cases#
D2C brand storefronts#
Build a fast, custom storefront (Next.js + Saleor) without the constraints of a hosted platform. Own your data, your URLs, and your checkout flow. Migrate off Shopify or WooCommerce when you outgrow them.
B2B portals#
Saleor's company accounts, custom pricing per buyer, draft orders, and approval workflows make it the right foundation for B2B ecommerce. Connect it to your ERP for catalog and inventory synchronisation.
Multi-channel retail#
Run web, mobile, wholesale, and marketplace channels from a single Saleor backend. Different prices, different currencies, different availability — all managed in one dashboard.
Headless replatforming#
Already have a frontend team? Point them at a Saleor GraphQL API instead of a legacy platform API. Incremental migration is possible: start with catalog and search, migrate checkout later.
